New Zealand 152/4 (37.6 ov)
South Africa
South Africa won the toss and elected to field
Another wicket gone, de Grandehomme run out Albie Morkel for36, NZ 160/5 after 38.4 overs
… And Franklin goes, caught Amla bowled De Lange 36, NZ 169/6 (41.3ov). NZ have looked decidedly average in the ODI’s, lets hope they ramp it up in the tests. I see that Smith is still crocked
De Lange on fire in New Zealand – Ellis is gone for 2, caught Amla!. NZ 171/7 (41.5 ovs)
@ Just For Kicks:
i better leave for work will listen on radio 2000, enjoy the games. Must say i like Marhant de Lange, both he and dale comes from this area. Dale from Phalaborwa and he is from Tzaneen, says something about the school standards here.
Morning all!
@ Loosehead:Morning, how was the breakfast?
@ superBul:Yup, both very impressive. Been at work since 6 am, pressing grapes again – run into the office now and then to catch scores! Catch you later for the rugby
…..And the last wicket falls, Bates is trapped LBW for 13 by Robbie P. NZ end their innings with 206 runs with 3 overs to spare.
Morning all RT’s and wounded Lions.

In the middle of a massive desert storm right now, we closed up shop at the base, so I have a free day at home, heeehaaaah! Let the good times roll!
(Btw, these dust storms are no joke, driving to work at 6 am with fog lights on, cleaning out air filters for jeep and home ac’s every other two hours or so.But no complaints, at least I have time off for rugby now
Hellooooooooooooooooo
Players coming out!
Game ON!
My Bru says Saders by 11.
Think I was too conservative?
Penalty to the Landers, they are going for goal… easy one
Highlanders 3 / 0 Crusaders
11@ Pietman:
Ouch those dust storms don’t sound very good but as you say it lets you get to see the rugby so not all bad. Well no dust storms here only fog this morning and thats no reason to keep me at home so am off to work soon this side. Enjoy the rugby man!
@ grootblousmile:
I have Saders by 13, let’s hope…..was let down badly last night by the Leeuwens.
@ Bullscot:
Cheers, see you at the Bulls’ game.@ grootblousmile: Where is Dan Carter?
Hello Gbs
Am guessing the Crusaders will take this one, but won’t be round till the end and will miss the big one in Bloemfontein, yet again, so for later hope its a good game GO Bulls!
